Discovered a site, adverbatim. It collects (allegedly) real and terrible things that people in the industry have said. I don’t know whether to laugh or puke.

Examples:

#079– “We’re a serious company. You can’t use the international symbol of the vagina on the cover.”
(Client, Area Manager, looking at the image of two hands framing a photo)

#064– “It lacks branding but we can solve that with a voice over saying the name of the brand.”
(Agency, Account Director, commenting on a jingle whose lyrics consist entirely of the name of the brand, sung 7 times, and the word “grapefruit” sung 4 times.)
